{I800,0;λ17;JUFA}ABSTRACT:

\The main contribution of  this thesis is the development  of a three
dimensional  geometric modeling  system  for application  to computer
vision. In computer vision geometric models provide a goal for descriptive
image analysis,   an origin for verification image synthesis,   and a
context for  spatial problem solving.  Some of the design ideas
presented have been implemented in two programs named GEOMED and CRE;
the programs  are demonstrated in situations  involving camera motion
relative to a static world.
